Siemens Dinosaur Wind Turbine Blades

In the past we've seen biomimeticwind turbines inspired by whale fins and species of trees, however now designers are looking to extinct animal species to create next-generation turbines. Engineering giant Siemens has unveiled three designs for aerodynamic wind turbine blades based on the biology of dinosaurs!
